25th Confession [Written/Action][Early on the 23rd for MAXIMUM HEAT WAVE]

[notabluesbro]

[Wolfwood's annoyed. Vash was snatched up just as things were getting calm, so to appease his gnawing aggravation over needle noggin's surprise vacation, he took to the lake more often; shockingly, he was getting pretty good at it, and as the days wore on, he was clearing more distance without stopping for a breather. Not to mention, staying stationary in Luceti meant losing muscle mass, and he had no room for losing the ability to tote that heavy son-of-a-bitch gun.

Of course, that talk with Sanji a few days back had him thinking. Always thinking, this one. He sits under a tree by the lake, still wet from the swim, with pen in hand. The question really takes him back. Reminds him of Vash and the girls, and of himself.]

Hey, a question—how many of you were nomadic? Traveled from place to place, not really labeling one single town or house as a home?

[....]

And what d'you think of being stuck in one place?

[Afterwards, he starts back home after practicing Fire and his just recently sought-after wind magic (he spends a great deal of his time dealing with the spirits, now, because getting better and stronger was important; protecting people was important). Catch him on the way back if you want, or out training in the fields, or prior, at the lake. Whatever floats your boat.]

Normadic... would be a good way to describe how I was back home, yeah.

It's pretty nice. In a way. It's just the place in question I don't like.

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

A fan of traveling the world, then?

Never much fun to get stuck behind an invisible wall, if you enjoy moving from place to place.

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say world traveling, but definitely traveling.

It can get a little agitating, but it's been pretty nice too. Can't say I don't wish I picked a normal village back home to settle in though.

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

Oh, I see. Didn't feel like straying too far from the nest?

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Well, it's more like that probably would've been a much better alternative than winding up in this place..

[JUST A LITTLE DRY HUMOR THERE! It'll probably cause dry laughter!]

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

Tell me about it. Can't get much further from home than this.


Are you at least enjoying your stay, for what it's worth?

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Well I do enjoy the peace and quiet. [When there IS peace and quiet.] Things could get a little noisy back home, so it was hard to concentrate on my work.

What about you? How has your stay here been?

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

It's been... eventful. But hey, it means it's not nearly as boring as it could be.

[If only. ;;]

Your work?

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's true.

I'm a scientist. [What, scientists, ttly need to travel from place to place like a vagabond what.]

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

A scientist? I thought they were more the type to stay inside their labs more than travel. Unless there's such a thing as a traveling scientist, who's job is on the road...?

[Sup, traveling assassin priest here. I don't doubt a damn thing.]

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Actually, let me rephrase that.

I'm a former scientist. After a certain turn of events I lost the job, and now I'm more of a traveler. [Which isn't entirely true. He's more like a criminal but DETAILS.]

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

Sounds messy. Scientists aren't the kind to get fired for small reasons, right?

[Bah, what is 'being gentle' about a situation.]

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

No. They're not.

Let's just say there was a certain turn of events that left me incapable of continuing work in that field. [...] Are you familiar with radiation in anyway?

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

[...]


Radiation? Yeah. I'm familiar with the stuff.

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

I used to be somewhat of a radiation specialist. But one day there was an accident and I was exposed to a very large amount of it. It left me incapable of continuing my work effectively, so I decided to take up traveling instead.

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

... [He's hesitant to write, but...

Well, you set yourself up for the question.]

Incapable?

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Yes. In my world there are certain people who undergo an advanced form of genetic mutation when exposed to some kind of extreme stimuli. These people are called mutates. And this is what I am.

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

... And let me guess. People give you shit for it?

Re: [Written] THOUGHT I TAGGED THIS!

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

The short version? Yes. A lot of shit.

Re: [Written] GASP HDU

[notabluesbro]

If it makes you feel any better, normal people freak me out more than mutants. Especially when they're complete bastards.

Re: [Written] NOT MY FAULT

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

Heh. Is this kind of like one of those plot twisting morals? Humanity is the real monster?

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

Nope. Everything's capable of being a monster—I'm just used to seeing the normal folk do it.

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting analogy. I've seen a lot of people here most people would deem a "monster" where I come from and... well usually they're just regular people. Or at least have similar personalities to what a regular person would have.

Besides some tweaks here and there it doesn't seem like our worlds are really all THAT different.

Re: [Written]

[notabluesbro]

... Weeell. That depends if you're from Earth or not, most of the time.

Re: [Written]

[whydidisaverick.livejournal.com]

That's true too. I am from Earth, but I guess it's not really a version of Earth that is all that "normal" I suppose.

Even magic is not something that is entirely foreign to me. So it could just be easier for me to adjust I suppose.
